MAINERS AREN'T CRAZY REGARDLESS OF THEIR GOVERNOR.

There is no use to go into the racist, homophobic, psychotic ravings of Maine's twice elected governor Paul (Pepe) LePage as it has been dominating the airways for the last few days.

In both of the last two elections a liberal third party candidate ran and split the democratic vote and so we ended up with LePage for two terms. Just as the Republicans have a far right Tea Party component, the Democrats also have an ultra-liberal component that will vote issues rather than party. It is not a bad thing to have ultra-liberal views, but when voting on principal will obvious throw the election to the far right wingnuts of the other party, purism becomes foolish. I am an ultra-liberal and I would have voted for Bernie had he been the nominee; but we all should suck it up and get behind Hilary. She will be a good President, and there is only one alternative and it is frightening.the Ol'Buzzard

After seeing your governor in action, I now know why people in Maine refer to themselves as "Mainers" and not "Mainiacs" like the Air National Guard unit in Bangor, ME. I still have one of their little stickers on my toolbox from when I worked on Army Guard helicopters there in the mid-80s.
